GearBest is one of the few websites where you can order products to Nepal with minimal or zero delivery charge. When you order products from Amazon or E-bay you need to pay heavy shipping and customs charges. But, on GearBest you can order products for minimal or zero shipping charges.
Let me explain things in detail now. It’s not that you don’t have to pay customs charges or shipping charges when you order from GearBest. The charges will depend on the product you’re buying and also on the staffs from the post office. GearBest mostly uses postal service for delivery, so the products you order will be sent to your nearest post offices. For Nepal there are only two options; either you can use the post office in Pokhara or the main post office in Kathmandu. Also, GearBest uses expedited shipping through EMS or DHL for some products. In this case, you’ll have to pay up to 50USD as delivery charge and certain customs charge too.
Certain products are available for free shipping whereas some premium products like laptops are not available for free shipping. However, custom charges will be applied by workers at the post office. The expedited shipping through EMS or DHL has a delivery time of 7-10 days whereas you’ll have to wait a month when you order products via free delivery. Also if you want to track your ordered product you’ll have to pay an extra 1USD while shipping.

Recently, I bought an MI piston IV Hybrid earphones worth 17.9USD for 19USD including shipping charge (tracking charge). The product was nicely packaged as you can see in the picture above. I did not have to pay any customs charge. But, if you order the same product in large units then you’ll certainly need to pay customs charges.
It’s really simple to order through GearBest.
- Go to GearBest.com
- Create a user account or log in through Facebook.
- Select your product and add it to your cart.
- If you’re ordering via free shipping you have the option to pay for tracking if you want to.
- Check out using credit cards, debit cards or PayPal. (Of course, it won’t accept cards from Nepal)
I had a very good experience using GearBest. There are lots of products that you can order for low prices as compared to the prices in Nepal. Especially, it’s great for ordering products like earphones, headphones, smart watches, mobile accessories, and camera accessories. Also, you’ll always find awesome deals if you are looking to buy smartphones from Chinese manufacturers like Xiaomi, Elephone, Letv, UMi, and others.

You can pay either through PayPal or international credit/debit cards. I used International Master Card to pay for the item.

Yes sir, the postal code is 44600.
Which bank card are you using debit or credit card for shopping . Can I use gift card ? .
I’m using Debit card from commonwealth bank, Australia.
No you can’t use gift cards.
You mentioned that you didn’t have to pay any cutom charges for the earphones. Can you tell me if the same contion applies if I’ll order a smartphone. Will I have to pay custom charges or VAT when the product arrives in Nepal. If yes, what is the Tax rate for electronic goods like Smartphones?
In the case of mobile phones, you’ll have to pay customs charges. I think the customs charge for mobile phones and laptops is 40%.
How do you know the product has been delivered in the post office? Also, how long did the order take?
You’ll get a phone call once the product is available in post office. It usually takes 22 days for the items to get delieverd.
My Cards were not accepted now how do I pay? aren’t there any optional way for the payment method?
Which card are you using? and what is the exact problem you had? International debit/credit card and PayPal are the available payment options.
What if i use my own posrbox number
i don’t have international account for paying them. how to get the product imported in nepal?
You’ll need an international Debit/credit card to order the product. There is no other way!
How to make payment? Is it cash on delivery? And the total price is what is shown in website plus delivery cost or are there hidden cost?
You need an international debit/credit card for payment or you can pay through PayPal. It is not cash on delivery, you need to pay while placing the order. Some products will include delivery cost, also it depends on the type of delivery method you choose. There aren’t any hidden cost but you’ll have to pay 13% tax on some products when it arrives in Nepal. (you’ll have to visit the post office to collect the product, but smaller products like earphones will be delivered to you directly without having to pay tax)
Is paypal service available in nepal???
No, the paypal service is not availale in nepal.
I am trying to buy a product from bangood.
I’m stuck what to put on the address field for shipping. also how will i receive the product if it is a free shipping and does not have tracking info .thanks in advance
usually, the products will only get delivered to Pokhara and Kathmandu. You can put your home address if you live in Pokhara or Kathmandu. For eg, if you live in chabhil, it could be chabhil, Kathmandu.
